Greyton is a gorgeous little village tucked into the majestic Riviersonderend Mountains, not quite two hours away from Cape Town. This is my parents home, a country house at the end of the main road, adjacent to the nature reserve.

This is the more formal front garden, filled with roses and daisies and many, many lovely flowers and trees.

St Francis watches over all the creatures that visit the garden.

The house was designed by Cape Town architect, Mike Rodseth, and built in the Cape Dutch style with large, cool rooms and beautiful finishes.
